Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

We are in Government not frozen by fear or locked by ideology but we are ready to play our part in getting the country out of a difficult time. We need to give people confidence that we can do it. We need to have confidence in ourselves because we are legislating for ten to 15 years or whatever time it takes to work it out. All sides of this House will manage NAMA in that time. Does Deputy Gilmore believe that the Labour Party in Government could make a contribution better than that of some of the developers and bankers in recent years?
